Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

He glanced at the instruments beside him, then at the metal that had been directly hit by the acid bomb, which was already half melted.

A faint black aura lingered on the corroded metal.

The corrosive attack is accompanied by a certain amount of ghost energy attack.

What puzzled Bian was that even after the corrosive effect disappeared, the black aura still stubbornly clung to the metal.

This effect seems like a curse?

Similar to A-Ju's toxin, but it is achieved through ghost energy.

I wonder what the actual effect will be.

He looked at the metal sheet and touched his chin.

"That's enough, Gastly."

"Chie!"

Suddenly, the door to the skills testing ground was pushed open, and Du Congyu walked in.

"Think about it, the principal wants to see you."

"The principal is looking for me?"

.....

In the principal's office, Principal Okamoto sat in his seat.

I saw Bian wanting to push the door open and come in.

He quickly stood up, a smile on his face.

"Bian Xiang, you're here! Have a seat, have a seat. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Would you like some tea?"

Du Congyu stood at the door, looking at the polite Principal Okamoto with a strange expression. He had never received such treatment from Bian Xiang before.

Principal Okamoto saw Du Congyu standing at the door.

"uh-huh."

He coughed slightly, straightened up, and looked at Du Congyu calmly, saying, "Teacher Du, that's enough. You can go now."

"Ah good!"

As the door closed, Principal Okamoto's smile returned.

“Bian Xiang, you were a member of the school team.”

"According to the original training plan for the school team, they would first receive centralized training at the dojo, and then receive training on campus."

"After that, we'll start playing friendly matches with other schools."

"Yes, Principal, I understand what you mean. You want us to prepare for a friendly match, right?"

"Well, Bian Xiang, I've never doubted your abilities, but all the previous members of the school team dropped out, and apart from you and Shi Shouxin, the new members aren't very good."

"So what does the principal mean?"

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and asked.

The principal looked at Bian Xiang and continued, "School team matches are usually three-on-three elimination matches, but there are also five-on-five team battles."

"If it's a three-on-three elimination tournament, it shouldn't be a big problem. With Bian Xiang's strength, he can easily take on three opponents at once!"

"Pfft!" he thought, spitting out the tea leaves as he looked up at Principal Okamoto. Where did the principal get his confidence? Thinking without seeing the opponent was definitely not a sure thing.

"Principal, you flatter me. The outcome of a Pokémon battle is never known until the battle begins."

"Humble! Bian Xiang is too humble and too modest!"

After witnessing Bian Xiang's one-against-five fight, Principal Okamoto became blindly confident in him. But that wasn't just any one-against-five fight; it was a one-against-five fight where someone from the first stage directly challenged someone from the second stage!

"With Bian Xiang's strength, he has absolutely no problem in three-on-three, but there might be a slight problem in five-on-five."

The principal pointed with two fingers and said.

"Five-on-five is all about teamwork. Of course, I'm not saying you can't take on five opponents by yourself, but if some of your Pokémon have too many weaknesses, it will be very tiring. You can't take on five opponents every time, can you?"

Principal Okamoto continued, "So I'm hoping that Bianxiang can lead the team to Kikyo Dojo for some intensive training. Of course, it won't be for long, about two weeks. What do you think?"

Two weeks of intensive training at the Kikyo Dojo? Bian Xiang is too busy skipping classes to even think about intensive training. Joining the school team was just an accident for Bian Xiang. He hasn't given up on his goal of slacking off. Although he's been a little more diligent lately, his slacking-off mentality remains unchanged.

After pretending to think for a moment, Bian looked up at the principal and said, "I shouldn't refuse the principal's kindness, but my Pokémon has just evolved, so I want to spend more time with it."

"Evolved? Your Pokémon evolved?"

Principal Okamoto looked on in surprise and thought, "If you can fight a level two opponent when you're at level one, then what if you evolve? Wouldn't that be an unstoppable force?"

The principal stroked his chin, looked up, and pondered.

"Hmm, I didn't think it through. How about a week? Or maybe three days?"

.....

Chapter 43 is something special

"Three days, three days, is that alright?"

I discovered a strong obsession: to leave my mark in the school's history. No matter the cost, I must leave my name in the school's history so that I will have no regrets in my life!

Help the principal achieve a series of dominance! Make your name known in school history! (800 points of Buddhist virtue!)

Bian Xiang looked at Principal Okamoto, thought for a moment, then looked up at the principal and said, "One week!"

By looking at the Buddha-nature value rewarded for obsession, one can roughly know how difficult it is to fulfill this obsession.

The system directly states that the reward is a specific value of Buddhahood, and there are only two obsessions.

The first one is Yin! Needless to say, if we were to try to resolve his obsession, it would be absolutely life-threatening, so the system gave him a Buddha-nature value of 5000! Moreover, the system did not directly explain his obsession; we have to think about it and guess for ourselves.

As for the principal's 800 points, which will be remembered in the school's history, it seems that he will have to win first place in the Chengdu regional high school sports league to achieve this goal.

It's really difficult to judge by this standard. I think the winner of the last Chengdu High School Sports League was Yuquan High School from Manjin City. I don't know about the others, but the lineup seemed to include Mongoose Slash, Dong Shi Miao, Afro-Headed Water Buffalo, Bronze Bell, and one other that I can't remember.

Almost all of them are in their final forms, and after dominating the Johto region, they also won third place in the regional high school championship. First place was in the Kanto region, and second place was in the Kalos region. They were then directly admitted to the Battle Department of Honoka University. (Honoka University is the school where Professor Oak graduated, and it is currently the number one ranked high school in the Major League.)

Manjin City is the largest city in the Chengdu area, and the resources it provides for Yuquan High School are undoubtedly the best in the Chengdu area.

In contrast, Kikyo City lags far behind. Although Kikyo City is considered a top-tier city in the Johto region, it still falls far short of Mankino City. Not to mention Mankino City, it can't even compare to Enshu City. Last year, Haruno High School was ranked sixth in the Johto region, which is considered mid-level.

Of course, the competition hasn't started yet, and there's still a long time to train the Pokémon. But putting Shi Shouxin aside, the other three school team members definitely need to train hard. Their Pokémon haven't evolved to the second stage yet, which is relatively lagging behind.

.....

In the evening, I finally decided to go to the dojo for a week of intensive training.

He picked up a bag of tree fruits and placed it in the shade.

Then he looked up at Master Guang Sheng.

"Master, I need to go to the flight training center for a week of intensive training."

"Hmm..." Master Guang Sheng nodded.

“I already know, Okamoto told me about it.”

Master Guang Sheng said calmly with his eyes closed.

"It would be good to go to the Kikyo Gym to improve my practical skills, and the Three Towers Zen Festival is coming soon."

Looking at the empty space, Bian Xiang said, "Marshado, I'm going away for a week. I'll be back in a week."

"A lot."

Marcia's head emerged mostly from the shadows, her orange-yellow eyes gazing into the distance as she pondered.

"Duoduo?"

Upon seeing Masador emerge, a hint of surprise flashed in Master Guang Sheng's eyes.

It took him a long time to convince Marcia to meet him back then.

How many days has this kid been around?

Bian Xiang saw Masado smile.

"I brought you the tree fruit, I'll put it here."

"Chie!"

Gastly also emerged from Bianxiang's shadow.

He greeted Marcia.

“Duoduo!”

Marcia responded and disappeared into the shadows.

Bian smiled slightly; he could tell that Marcia was somewhat unhappy.

"Shall we have a match, Marshall?"

“Duoduo!”

Marshall emerged from the shadows and waved his chubby little hand toward Bianxiang.
